On today's episode of Classical Austin, we explore the music on the upcoming Austin Symphony program, namely Prokofiev's Symphony no. 5 in B flat, op. 100. This performance is in collaboration with the Chicago Symphony's Beyond the Score program.Audience members will be immersed in a multimedia presentation about the composer and his symphony in the first part of the program. After the intermission, the A.S.O. will perform the work in its entirety. Conductor and artistic director Peter Bay will give his insights and we'll listen to the entire piece.
